Kim Jong Un tribute absence sparks speculation

[yortsed snacilbuper]

The April 15 birthday of the North's founder is the most important celebration of the nuclear-armed country's annual political calendar, known as the Day of the Sun.

North Koreans are taught from birth to revere Kim Il Sung and his son and successor Kim Jong Il, father of the current leader, and all adults wear badges depicting one or both men.

But Kim's absence from any official reports on this year's commemorations led analysts to speculate he wants to distance himself from the "cult of personality" surrounding the country's ruling dynasty.

5. Is Kim sick ?

Rachel Lee, a former North Korea analyst in the US government, played down the possibility of his absence being related to coronavirus concerns, saying he had been "quite active in recent weeks".

Pyongyang has imposed strict restrictions to try to avoid the disease that emerged in neighboring China and has since swept the world, at times quarantining thousands of citizens and hundreds of foreigners.

It insists it has not had a single case, although observers have expressed skepticism.
